Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia is proposing a bill that calls for the U.S. to use Russian assets to reimburse itself for Ukraine-related spending and then use any remaining funds to provide additional assistance to the embattled Eastern European nation.

"The United States and allies have seized approximately $330,000,000,000 in funds related to Russian oligarchs or the Moscow bank," a copy of the bill obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation states. "Any of these assets subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Government should be seized and used to reimburse the United States, pay for additional equipment and humanitarian assistance given to Ukraine and pay for reconstruction efforts after the conclusion of the war."
